Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This volume is the outcome of an international cooperation between 73 scientists, experts, and practitioners from many countries, disciplines, and professional areas. As a part of a series of CERES publications, the volume attempts to contribute to the scientific debate about the foodbiodiversityclimate nexus by developing a comprehensive region-specific and broader global understanding of the linkages between these areas, especially in the context of Global South. Instead of providing only modern science-based solutions for the nexus related challenges, the volume covers case studies that present mixed solutions, offering the use of traditional ecological knowledge in combination with modern science for both resilience and sustainability. This is increasingly instrumental in shaping the needed response options regarding the economic, social, and environmental future of the world. Based on a multi-regional and cross-sectoral analysis, the approach consists of: assessing the differentnatural and anthropogenic factors currently affecting ecosystems and their services, especially the impacts of climate change; highlighting the different linkages between the state of biodiversity and food systems in many contexts and scales; and exploring the various response mechanisms to effectively manage the implications of such linkages. Most chapters provide inputs for future relevant research and policy agendas.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The resilience of food systems and security to emerging challenges and threats, especially in the context of environmental and climate risks and global pandemics such as the Covid-19 crisis, is currently gaining growing importance in research, policy, and practice. Based on this, the core focus of this book, as a part of a series of CERES publications, consists of identifiying and exploring the best ways to overcome such challenges and shocks and to build resilience in the Global South. More precisely, the book analyzes current dynamics and trends related to the climate resilience of food security and assess the relevance of emerging approaches such as climate-smart agriculture, new roles of agriculture extension, smart farming, and climate adaptation of farming systems.The book includes both conceptual and empirical research reporting lessons learned from many geographical, environmental, social, and policy settings while focusing on Africa, Middle East, and Asia.

Hardback. Condition: New. Part of the CERES publication series, this book explores the critical nexus between food systems, biodiversity, and climate resilience. Through a multi-regional analysis, it examines how environmental and climate changes-driven by unsustainable agriculture, land-use shifts, and pollution-disrupt ecosystems and threaten food security.Grounded in empirical research, particularly from Asia and Africa, it highlights biodiversity's role in sustaining food systems and presents nature-based solutions such as agroecology, land restoration, and the integration of traditional knowledge with scientific innovation.A valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners, this volume takes a systems-based approach to managing trade-offs, fostering synergies, and driving sustainable food and climate strategies. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This contributed book, as a part of a series of CERES publications, contributes tothe scientific debate about the interlinkages between climate change, environment,and food systems. It highlights the opportunities to accelerate the transformation ofsuch systems within the perspective of sustainable, inclusive, and climate-smartpractices. Most chapters are based on empirical research particularly done invulnerable and resource-constrained countries from the Global South (such asIndia, Kenya, Pakistan, South Asia, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam) and provide policy-oriented inputs and recommendations to guide change processes at multiple scales.This project has implications for research, innovation, and policy design.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This contributed book, as a part of a series of CERES publications, provides a multi-regional and cross-sectoral analysis of the interlinkages, challenges, and emerging responses in the areas of water security, climate change, and food systems, especially in a context marked by severe implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, increased climate vulnerability of many regions already water stressed, and an ambitious global action aiming at curbing climate change and restoring ecosystem. In the first set of chapters, the water, food, and environmental/climate security nexus is explored theoretically and by reference to empirical research covering many regions and sectors. In another set of chapters, the impacts of climate change on water resources and water-stressed regions are identified along with their implications for food systems and security. Other chapters of the volume identify the emerging solutions to the nexus challenges, mainly adaptation and mitigation options, governance and management approaches, technological and economic solutions, innovative farming and water management practices, etc. Most chapters scheduled for publication address timely and future-oriented topics, are based on empirical research particularly done in water-constrained and climate vulnerable countries from Asia, Africa, and the MENA region, and provide policy-oriented inputs and recommendations to guide change processes at multiple scales.
